Kipling

I absolutely love Kipling bags!  Fortunately I can find them at a good discount at Ross, TJ Maxx, and on sierra.com otherwise they usually cost $100+. I found this bag at Ross today and grabbed it since it was only $41 and I loved the color!

Today's quick tip: Batteries. We had a nice rain/thunder/lightning storm last night and while it was pretty wild for a while, fortunately we didn't lose power. Oddly enough, we have had more power outages over the past year than we have had over the past decade...not sure why that is. Because there is always the possibility of losing power, we have really upped our battery game. Among the batteries we keep on hand: 10k watt battery banks we travel with to charge our phones in an emergency, plenty of standard AAA, AA, C, D, and 9v batteries for general use, a car jump starter box (basically a tiny box with a rechargeable battery with enough power to jump start a car), a package of rechargeable AA and AAA batteries and the charger (bought on sale), a 300wh battery bank with solar panels, and a 1000wh battery bank with solar panel for longer-term power needs. Consider buying one, some, or all of these items to add to your emergency supplies.
